Named for the “clear-singing” rooster in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales GRAMMY® Award-winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer is known around the world as “an orchestra of voices” for its wide-ranging repertoire and dazzling virtuosity. Founded in San Francisco in 1978 by singer and musicologist Louis Botto Chanticleer quickly took its place as one of the most prolific recording and touring ensembles in the world selling over one million recordings and performing thousands of live concerts to audiences around the world. Chanticleer’s repertoire is rooted in the renaissance and has continued to expand to include a wide range of classical gospel jazz popular music and a deep commitment to the commissioning of new compositions and arrangements. Chanticleer is exclusively represented by Opus 3 Artists.

For their program “Without a Song” Chanticleer notes “Music can lead us to places we never expected. It can inspire us forward or it can hold us back. Music’s power has been the subject of wonder and speculation for millennia. In “Without a Song” Chanticleer explores music’s power throughout the ages including Medieval and Renaissance motets by Francesco Landini and Orlando di Lasso a new work by the GRAMMY-nominated composer Ayanna Woods and a new version of the jazz standard “Without a Song” arranged for us by Stacey Gibbs.”

Christian Crocker St. Paul’s Director of Music adds “We are delighted to offer this concert on our artist series to the Chattanooga community. Having first heard Chanticleer live 20 years ago I can guarantee that this will be an unforgettable experience. Please join us for an evening of glorious choral singing in our beautifully resonant space.”
